Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to make 2011 you best year ever!  This year marks the 20th year I have been in the note business.  From being an actual practitioner in the business and watching the relevant markets this year looks to be a phenomenal growth year for the note business. I want you to get your share of the growth that is coming. 

 

Stupid is as Stupid does

 

I recently read a book entitled The Milkshake Moment: Overcoming Stupid Systems, Pointless Policies, and Muddled Management to Realize Real Growth by Steven S. Little.  Mr. Little travels quite a bit and tries to maintain a positive attitude despite the frustrations of traveling these days.  He rewards himself with a vanilla milkshake when he reaches his destination.

On one such occasion he called hotel room service to order his "prize".  Little learned they did not have a milkshake on the menu.  He could order a bowl of vanilla ice cream and a glass of milk to make his own, but the "system" did not enable the employee to put the two together. Stupid system, milkshake moment. 

 

The book gives practical advice to help break down the barriers to business growth and offers five key growth principles:

 

1) Foster "grow" versus Status quo.  The drive for organizational conformity can cause the loss of a moral compass or an ability to think rationally about achieving real, sustainable growth.

 

2) Put purpose before profit.  The purpose of any organization is to identify and fill the relevant needs of those it serves.

 

3) Solve the "people problem" problem.  Focus on creating an environment where the people you work with can thrive.

 

4) "Insource" crucial judgment.  Outsourcing might work for certain routine tasks, but keep the most important functions inside the organization to tap into the collective internal wisdom

 

5) Care for customers.  Focus on growth by removing self imposed barriers that keep you and the people you work with from truly delivering.

 

Hope this helps! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!
